Google Photos has been winning fans the last few months by introducing new features like gif editing. But now the app is getting even better with the introduction of video stabilization. The new feature rolls out in the latest app update. To use it, open a video you’ve already shot, and hit “Stabilize.” You’ll get …

The most exciting, but least proven, feature to come in this update is Game Mode, a new toggle that’s now part of the Windows 10 Game Bar (which too has seen some upgrades, but more on that in a moment). Game Mode tells your system to reallocate CPU and GPU hardware resources to prioritize the gaming application at hand when it’s the active, full-screen application in use.

That’s it, you now have an experimental dark mode available to you. Commenters are suggesting it works in other browsers as well. Firefox requires that you delete old cookies first, and it should work on Edge out of the box. I couldn’t get it to load in Safari though.

Sensenbrenner was taking questions in a town hall meeting, and one of the attendees asked him about the internet privacy laws he voted to roll back. Specifically, they asked why internet service providers should be treated the same as websites, saying, “I do not have to go on Facebook … I don’t have to go on Google. My [ISP] is different from those providers.”

It’s worth mentioning once again that Lamar is hands-down one of the best storytellers in music. “Duckworth” is the condensed life story of Anthony Tiffith, founder and CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment, where Lamar is signed. Tiffith’s life of dealing drugs and gang banging brought him back to the brink of robbing the same Kentucky Fried Chicken he knocked over years prior. It just so happened that Lamar’s father, Kenny “Ducky” Duckworth, was working at that KFC and knew Tiffith’s history, leading him to curry favor with the man by offering free chicken and extra biscuits. Ducky’s plan apparently worked and through a butterfly-effect rationale, contributed to DAMN. ’s very existence:

Photographer Ami Vitale (TEDxWanChai talk: The power of a panda ), who is based in Montana, was granted rare access to document the pupils at China’s “panda wilderness school” — a program that helps prepare captive-born pandas for release — at the Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong in the Sichuan province. She was drawn to the project after researching and learning about the richness and complexity of panda history and biology. “Pandas have been on the planet for eight million years, but the first panda was only captured alive in 1936. It’s mind-blowing when you think this animal remained hidden and elusive for millions and millions of years,” she explains. Here, Vitale shares her images and shows how researchers, caretakers and doctors ready pandas for independent lives.

As someone who uses a dummy account to avoid annoying acquaintances and cringy exchanges with the fam, I know that Facebook’s problem with fake accounts is real – but now the social media giant is taking action to protect the integrity of its platform.

General Motors has not set a clear roadmap for its self-driving program, unlike Ford, which wants to have a fully driverless vehicle on the road by 2021. Both automakers are likely to launch ride-sharing services for the self-driving cars, GM may use Lyft as the default service.

A little investigative work helps when you get suspicious emails from friends and family to. Your friends and family can get hacked if they’re less careful about security than you are, and that means a dodgy link can come from a reputable source. Your next check should be on the context around the link or attachment: if it comes with very little explanation or context, or and explanation that makes no sense, or any kind of pressure to act fast, be very suspicious.

The ads are appearing in French publications the Le Monde , Libération , and Le Parisien, among others. Each ad has ten tips, advising readers to check story sources, dates, and facts wherever possible — common sense, you’d think.

Google Hangouts Chat is a communication app for enterprise teams. Hangouts Chat conversations occur in "rooms," and each room includes all the conversations held by a team. These conversations are threaded, so you can keep a conversation about lunch separate from a conversation about a project budget. New items appear at the bottom of the page. You can review all unread items. If a conversation started before you joined the team, you can still see the entire thread. All conversations are keyword searchable. You can filter your search by file type or person, too.

On Friday, the Vermont Senator tweeted a photo of himself speaking at an undisclosed location with cow print curtains. Though Sanders’ account captioned the pic with an inspiring message, it was hard to ignore that the podium was made to resemble large pint of his home state’s iconic ice cream. He appeared to be rising from it, like a phoenix from the ashes.

Kendrick Lamar’s new album Damn . dropped last night. Anticipation was high, and Kendrick’s fans reacted to the album the way the internet has taught them to: by dissecting it for clues. Clues about what? , you, a person who is merely content to have this album, might ask. Clues about another album , the internet would respond. According to a theory floating around and rapidly growing, Lamar is going to release another album this Sunday, and it’s called Nation .

Friday morning, the Shadow Brokers published documents that—if legitimate—show just how thoroughly US intelligence has compromised elements of the global banking system. The new leak includes evidence that the NSA hacked into EastNets, a Dubai-based firm that oversees payments in the global SWIFT transaction system for dozens of client banks and other firms, particularly in the Middle East. The leak includes detailed lists of hacked or potentially targeted computers, including those belonging to firms in Qatar, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Syria, Yemen, and the Palestinian territories. Also included in the data dump, as in previous Shadow Brokers releases, are a load of fresh hacking tools, this time targeting a slew of Windows versions.

A tiny retread of Nintendo’s beloved Famicom console, the Famicom Mini had 30 games and two controllers with absurdly short cables. The console was extremely popular; according to Nintendo Life , the Famicom Mini sold over 262,000 consoles within a week. Even the NES Classic didn’t do that well, selling 196,000 copies within three weeks.

At this point, ASU has built out the copper load fiber plant that can support 100 Gbps, but can go up to 100 Gbps. "Everything is CAT-15 now from a copper perspective and the access points. We're a Cisco shop so they're all Cisco access points. We have access points not only in the concourse and the suites but down in the bowl as well, underneath the seats. It can get to be 120 degrees in Arizona and the sun shining on the box can get much hotter than that. It can get up to 180-200 degrees in the direct sunlight," he said.

Uber declined to report first-quarter numbers, saying they were in line with expectations but that the company hasn’t yet presented them to investors. The company said it’s pleased to see revenue growth far exceeding losses last year and that its business is still performing well this year even as it faces unyielding controversy. “We’re fortunate to have a healthy and growing business, giving us the room to make the changes we know are needed on management and accountability, our culture and organization, and our relationship with drivers,” Rachel Holt, who runs Uber’s U.S. ride-hailing business, wrote in an emailed statement.

Even though Instagram Stories now seem to be more popular than Snapchat, it doesn’t seem like the imitation game is over. Instagram also announced new creative tools for pinning stickers into videos and creating your own selfie stickers. Snapchat debuted these features in April 2016 and December 2016, respectively, according to TechCrunch .

According to The Intercept , the Shadow Brokers' April 14 release of previously undisclosed tools has the potential to comprise Windows computers running anything earlier than Windows 10. To make matters worse, one security expert says that even those using the latest Windows could be vulnerable.

"We do not allow harassment and remove content that appears to
purposefully target private individuals with the intention of
degrading or shaming them," he said. "We also remove content that
threatens or promotes sexual violence or exploitation. We
encourage people to report content to us for review when they see
something that should not be on Facebook, and also suggest
reaching out to law enforcement directly if there is a situation
in which the authorities can help.”

We teach girls that they can have ambition, but not too much ... to be successful, but not too successful, or they'll threaten men, says author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In this classic talk that started a worldwide conversation about feminism, Adichie asks that we begin to dream about and plan for a different, fairer world — of happier men and women who are truer to themselves.

A cute, robotic language tutor called Musio , has made it from crowdfunding campaign to full-fledged product with a debut in stores this week in Japan. Priced at JPY 98,000 (about US $900), Musio is now sold online through SoftBank’s marketplace and Amazon Japan, and through a handful of brick-and-mortars stores.

Public confidence in the scientific community and in medicine is higher than in many other institutions. Confidence is highest for leaders of the military, with 53% expressing a great deal of confidence. At the opposite end of the spectrum, just 8% of Americans express a great deal of confidence in the press and 6% say the same about Congress. On average, confidence in institutions is lower today than it was in the mid-1970s.

Curiously, her very first voice-acting gig came about quite as a surprise. One day a voice actor failed to show up for a recording session and Susan stepped in as a replacement. After she completed the session with flying colors, she hired a vocal coach and an agent with the hope of building up a new career.

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Well, the answer to that perennial question might become a little bit easier to answer. If rumors are to be believed, the international superthief might be heading to Netflix for a new animated series.

Noise-canceling headphones use microphones that listen to outside noise and special circuitry that analyzes it and generates a counter-signal. This signal does more than simply block out noise, like thick earpads on headphones (that is called noise isolation); it actively cancels out the noise to generate a quiet that's unaffected by what's going on around you. The best noise-canceling headphones work so well, many owners will put them on, turn on the power, and not listen to anything through them—just to enjoy the silence.

The TARDIS detail is pretty striking, but it's the ghostly image of Peter Capaldi inside that really catches your eye. The pose and costume come from Capaldi's first press photo in the role, but that's somehow OK... he looks appropriately frozen in time, possibly trapped by some monstrous villain like the Master, the Silence, or Nigel Farage.

“It’s good to recycle as much as possible, but often you’ll read the fine print and you’ll see that the products could only be recycled once, or it’s actually 10 percent recycled material and the rest is new,” Ella Atkins, a professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan, told Gizmodo. “So I think one has to be a little careful when they talk about the notion of reusing rockets, in that it doesn’t mean that every last piece on the rocket is going to be reused.”

Solar panels are not new. But now Tesla is using batteries to store power from the sun for use during peak electricity hours at night. Stephanie Elam reports from Hawaii's island of Kauai which is beginning to use the technology.

So, what’s an average human being living on this round blue ball in the early 21st century supposed to do about it? Go eat a burger, enjoy this strangely warm Friday which I can’t attribute to climate change because weather does not equal climate and meteorologists will yell at me on Twitter if I tell you otherwise, and then maybe, if you’re feeling brave, tell your weird uncle that last month was 1.12 degrees Celsius warmer than the mean March temperature from 1950 to 1980, 2016 surpassed 2015 surpassed 2014 as the hottest year on record, and NASA’s Earth science division does some damn good work .

In cases where research is being done on a rare condition that affects just a few thousand customers, Black said, the company will reach out and request additional consent beyond the standard research consent consumers agree to when they take their test. In all cases, the data is anonymized. (Though to be fair, it’s debatable how anonymous that data really is. In one case, researchers were able to find out a man’s last name using only the short repeats on his Y chromosome and access to a genealogy database .)

The Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid will go 42 miles on electricity alone before a gasoline engine turns on, providing more than 330 miles of total driving range. Unlike the fuel cell car, the plug-in hybrid Clarity will be available to buy or lease in all 50 states later this year at a price expected to be around $35,000.

Instagram announced earlier this week that its Stories feature has over 200 million daily users. As my colleague Napier pointed out , that’s at least 40 million more than Snapchat’s last reported number. I think we can safely say Instagram and Facebook have Snapchat beaten.
